Is it worth the time to open it up? If so, should I open it up flush all the way back or taper it to the back of the opening? Would a Dremel work well enough for this job?
Should I open up the stock intake to accept my 70mm t body?

I opened my stock intake with a dremel and a grinding stone...opened it to 65mm to match my TB....took about 25 minutes...just make sure you stuff a rag in the intake to keep all the "scraps" from falling in. (I tappered mine).

Open it up - however, don't expect much to change when you install it. The stock lower intake is a bigger bottleneck to increased flow than the stock throttle body is. So even though more air can move through the throttle body - it won't, cause it can't get past the lower intake. Tmoss can port the lower for you - that'll make a difference you can feel.
